Let’s take a look at some folks who are livin’ the single life.

A CEO Gives His Employees $2,000 to Go on Vacation and Says They’re More Productive Than Ever
This is pretty great.
Mark Douglas is the CEO of a marketing and advertising company called SteelHouse who has very specific rules when it comes to vacation time for his employees. No, he’s not cutting down on time off – he requires that his workers take vacation time, and he gives each employee a $2,000 bonus each year that they have to spend on their vacations.
How amazing is that?
Douglas said, “It’s one thing to say ‘You have three weeks’ vacation,’ as most companies do. It’s another thing to say ‘You have cash, and if you don’t go on vacation and spend this money, the money literally goes to waste.’ It’s another level of saying this is real.”
Douglas also said that the bonus pays off. He says his workers are more productive than ever and that they “have virtually zero turnovers.” Douglas said that between 2013 and 2016, only 3 employees left out of a workforce of 250 people.
Douglas said there are five main reasons why he enacted the vacation policy:
1. It gives employees a chance to recharge.
2. It encourages team-building among staff members.
3. A give-and-take mindset gets the best out of people.
4. A good life-work balance attracts great employees.
5. Customers view the company’s dedication to its employees in a positive light.
Douglas added, “I think it’s important that everyone be able to essentially really, truly leave work.”
In addition to that nice perk, the entire SteelHouse company takes a 3-day weekend once a month.
Not too shabby, huh?

A Woman Recalled the Stranger Who Saved Her from a Creep on the Subway, and the Internet Applauds
On Reddit, a woman recently recounted a terrifying story – one where a creepy guy was following her for blocks, only to get on the same subway car she did and proceed to loom over her.
He was saying gross and rude things and wouldn’t take a hint, causing her to get more and more nervous. She wasn’t sure what she would do until this kind stranger picked up on her body language and intervened.
Thank you to the guy on subway who could read my body language. from TwoXChromosomes
And the internet was really glad for the reminder that there are good people out there willing to stick their necks out for perfect strangers.
Which should tell you for sure that there are people you pass every day who might need help – or who might help you – so keep your eyes and your sixth sense at the ready.
If you see something (or sense something), say something. You may be just what the situation needs for everyone to get out alright.

A Company Is Offering Nonsmokers Six Extra Vacation Days to Make up for Cigarette Breaks
If you work with smokers, they take breaks constantly. I’m sure you’ve noticed this. I’ve worked with some people who took at least one cigarette break per hour and sometimes even more.
That time really adds up.
A company in Japan has taken notice and decided to give non-smokers an extra six days of vacation per year to make up for the time that smokers take on breaks. Piala Inc. is a marketing firm in Tokyo, and they decided to take this step after non-smokers at the company complained about working more than people at the business who take time each day to smoke.
This company is giving non-smokers 6 extra vacation days pic.twitter.com/Ymzt2IY6P0
— NowThis (@nowthisnews) October 24, 2019
A spokesperson for the company said, “One of our non-smoking staff put a message in the company suggestion box earlier in the year saying that smoking breaks were causing problems. Our CEO saw the comment and agreed, so we are giving non-smokers some extra time off to compensate.”
The company is based on the 29th floor of a building so you can imagine how much time was spent by smokers venturing all the way downstairs, taking a leisurely cigarette break, and then coming back up 29 flights. Like I said, it adds up.
Takao Asuka, the CEO of the company, said, “I hope to encourage employees to quit smoking through incentives rather than penalties or coercion.”
What do you think about this? Fair? Unfair? Unnecessary?
